As connecting link between the Antarctic and the North Atlantic, the South Atlantic plays an important role in the distribution of heat in the North Atlantic and in the biogeochemical budget of all oceans. Oceanographers and geologists as well as micropaleontologists and meteorologists will find a wealth of information in this
